Bag Jr

This is a smaller version of the bag in the last post. I make a smaller version of all my bags so my Princess can have one... she likes bags as much as I do. This is another denim one with plenty of machine embroidery on it. She wanted pink and purple hearts. She got 1 pink, 2 purple, 1 green and 1 rainbow. And a huge yellow button to close it with. She loves it! :)

Dodgy Business..

Are these baggies the start of something or just a lot of wishful thinking..? I wanted to dye and embroider some wash cloths, and maybe sell them on Oztion, to help pay for the software I want for the embroidery machine. I am thinking maybe the dye is too intense again and I should have toned it down a bit. It is a good learning experience anyway.. and if some of these sell, good on me, and if they don't, the family will get them as birthday presents!! I did 3 little Princess-sized shirts too.. and she loves them so much, I can't sell them!!

A Sewing Machine Cover

I finally have a sewing machine cover. I had to make it myself, but I now have one. I havent had a lot of luck with 'swaps'. First there was the SM cover swap - mine got eaten by her Sewing Machine so she sent me a lovely bag instead. Then there was the Easter Bag swap - it got changed to the William Morris Bag Swap (I dont like William Morris, sorry Michele). A Christmas-in-July bag swap turned out bad too.. my swap partner couldnt do her bag for me because she had too many other commitments and lastly we have the Secret Sister Christmas Stocking Swap. This is a total no-show too. It has been going since June and here we are in November and not a pressie in sight. I have sent to my SS, some were a little late, but they all got sent!! I cant wait til Christmas so she can open them :)

I embroidered Mama because that is what The Princess calls me. It is made from Oriental nine patches that were received in a nine patch swap. Nine patch swaps are goood because if you dont send any in, you dont get any back!! :)

I need another Sewing Machine cover for the other machine now.. at least I know I will get one if I do it myself !! :)

Quilt Stand

I made it myself! It looks good enough to be a bought one, and it only took a couple of weeks at school to make this! The colour looks a lot better in real life. The Princess uses it to hang her quilts on so when she is finished with it, I will hang some of my own !!

Pockets

A wall-hanging for The Princess. I don't think she has enough wall space for all the hangings I have made and half made !!! This one has pockets for all her 'Princess Stuff' and when I find a 'landlord friendly' way to hang it, I will !! (does anyone have any ideas.. please?)

The background has calico on the back and the pockets are backed with calico too.. the were all bagged. All the pockets have beads or buttons sewn on them and some stitching too.

The Princess is checking to make sure all the beads and buttons are sewn on properly :)
